I've got to say, there was nothing about Denny's book that wasn't successful. :grins: And it was definitely the wettest.
I don't actually read murder mysteries. Like horror, it's one of the few places I put my readerly foot down, though it sounds fascinating.
And that last story sounds fascinating.
I'm anything but a method writer I think. I play out characters in scenarios in my head, and I'm under their skin, but I don't actually need any common ground. I just need under their skin and into their perspective and then I can write them without being under their skin. That first draft of "Dowse and Bleed" was a prime example. I wrote it but not from inside her. This version's from inside her, which is weird and different in a big way.

Hmm... Must ponder your methodology.
